Nutrition and Brain Health: Olive-Derived Bioactive Metabolites in Alzheimer's Disease
Understanding Alzheimer's Disease and Diet
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) accounts for 60–70% of global dementia cases, affecting around 50 million people worldwide. With incidence doubling every five years after age 60, effective solutions are urgently needed.
The Role of Nutrition in AD
Nutrition plays a vital role in psychology and brain health, impacting both prevention and management of AD.
Bioactive Metabolites from Olives
Research indicates that olive-derived bioactive metabolites possess potential therapeutic benefits on symptoms and progression of Alzheimer's Disease. These compounds enhance nutrition and metabolism of brain cells, supporting cognitive function.
Future Research Directions
- Clinical nutrition studies focusing on olive oil
- Impact of diet on dementia progression
- Exploration of metabolic pathways
